Rich Garcia always wanted to be an astronaut but when that didn’t happen he chose the next best thing. The Weslaco native and his friend Erich Roder recently launched a weather balloon and pictures of themselves and sent it off into space. A camera attached to the balloon was able to capture every moment along the way.
